Weekly Update #22

It’s a chance to share News. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

Now that's explained, it's on to my weekly recap!

The school holidays have begun!
I don't know whether to beg someone to save me or to rejoice... Maybe a bit of both? It's awesome having more time to do stuff with the kiddo but it's stressful juggling work and making sure he's covered not to mention how kids seem to go slightly feral when school is out.
🤷

In far more exciting news, WE GOT RAIN!
I woke up in the early hours of Saturday to rain, then it rained periodically throughout the day and today - so far - had been heavy, windy, glorious rain.
It's so overdue and it's the first time in almost two months I'm not too hot!
Yeay!

This book was so many kinds of frustrating, I don't even know where to start!
I liked the world and I think I'd have really liked the book if it didn't drag on so long!
The author just needed to get to the point... Maybe a better editor?
Anyhoo, I'll probably read the next one to see if it improves but I'm not up for another ten-hour slog through frustrating and repetitive nonsense so if it's not better, I'm out.

Kindle Unlimited

Making the most of my KU subscription now that the house buying penny squeeze is seriously pinching!

Free!

It was on my amazon wishlist and I noticed it was now free... It'd be rude to have ignored it!

99p

I know. I shouldn't be buying books but it was 99p! And it was just one...

Oh, ok, this isn't really bookish news but DID YOU SEE IT?! Did you see The Crimes of Grindelwald trailer from comic con?!
It looks awesome. So much better than Fantastic Beasts... I'm actually excited about this movie now!
In case you missed it, I've shared it!
(I'm kind like that 😉)

Actually, there was a lot of trailers from comic con that have me excited.
Some good watch'ns coming our way people!

The other thing that seems to be dominating the twitterverse / blog land this week is book piracy.
I don't know how many times it needs to be stated but for the love of books, don't be a dick and don't steal things.
The only acceptable form of piracy is drinking rum, out the bottle, before noon on a bad day.
(What? You've never done it? Me neither but it's an ambition...)

Oh my gosh, I cannot tell you how excited I am for Fantastic Beasts 2, I'll definitely be there opening night to see it. I just...can't! I'm so *flailing* all over the place geeking out over the trailers for it. Yes! :)

Huzzah for rain! We might get a few scattered sprinkles this week, but chances are low. Sadly it'll be a couple more months before it's a real possibility again. I hope the kiddo settles down from the high of summer vacation soon...at least enough to preserve everyone's sanity :)

I’m glad you got some rain! I love rain because it cools everything down, and I can’t stand heat. It makes me angry. I hope your feral kids are having a great summer. Congrats on the mortgage. Have a good week!

Yes... it's great not having to water the garden AND we had some rain last night as well! Thank you so much for the Fantastic Beasts trailer that brought joy to the Higbee household - we loved the first film and now we are all thrilled to think there will be another one:)). Have a great week.
